Kawasaki Klx300 - Valve Clearance Check + Acr Mod

[@nevillegriffiths8681]

You make things look very easy Dan and your detailed description just simplifies things even further. I don’t own a KLX300 but I enjoyed following along regardless. Looking forward to your next instalment. Cheers.

I just checked my exaust clearance , it looks like they closed. 1 is at 0.155mm and the other is between 0.076 and 0.102. You think its normal?

[@cookiemonster2308]

Big thank you 😊

[@ЮрийЮпов]

brother, do you happen to know the valve on it can be ground in or just milled properly?

[@50french23]

I love my 98 300r but it’s a pain in the butt to get started! I can kick it easily but it takes sometimes 30 kicks for it to start, and once it’s hot it really doesn’t like to start

[@MOTODANS]

Sounds like there is an issue in the carb. Mine at most will take 5 kicks from cold if it has been sitting for a few weeks. If it's in regular use starts first kick cold or hot

[@50french23]

@@MOTODANS thanks for the suggestion, do you run the stock carb?

[@MOTODANS]

Yep stock carb and all stock jets and settings, top of airbox removed and the butt plug removed from exhaust

[@50french23]

@@MOTODANS hmm, I’ll have to look into the butt plug removal mod! 😂

Do you have to mod arc on a 2007 it kicks very easy now no mode

[@MOTODANS]

No, yours is done from factory

[@tjroxs21]

Hi dan, should the acr have play on the end of the cam, bike started makeing a small wear sound after the last ride, iv taken the valve cover off to inspect the head and i noticed the acr has alot of side to side play, is this normal or should i replace the exhaust cam.cheers

[@MOTODANS]

What is moving the actual pressed on part? There should be no play in that.

[@tjroxs21]

@MOTODANS the pressed on part is solid but the other bits attached to it have alot of play

[@MOTODANS]

@@tjroxs21 mine did have some play hard to say without comparing what would be excessive though

[@tjroxs21]

@MOTODANS thanks for the reply, looks like timing is out half a tooth this might be the noise I'm hearing, time to get a new timing chain 😅

[@nedbergmeier8053]

Hi Dan, is this the same process for a 2021 model 300?

[@MOTODANS]

Acr mod wont be required on yours, Valve check procedure will be the same, unsure if the specification for the clearance is the same though

[@nedbergmeier8053]

@@MOTODANS Thankyou

[@gravediggernz]

What year klx300r? They did change the acr timing in the later models. Great trail bikes

[@MOTODANS]

Mine is a 1997, I believe they changed the cam in 2003? Which had the improved acr timing

[@gravediggernz]

Super reliable bikes. I've had alot of fun on mine on trail rides. Cheers for the videos

[@Robertcambell1966]

Hello mate , out of interest can the later cam be fitted in the 99/2000 bikes @@MOTODANS

[@MOTODANS]

@robertcampbell8311 Yep as far as I know they can. That would be your 2 options on the early ones newer cam or the acr mod
